My First Rolex
Greetings!

I just wanted to share my first Rolex with everyone on here. I have been dying for one for as long as I've gotten into watches and I finally just couldn't live without one anymore. I found a great GMT Master Ref. 16700 with box and papers on a jubilee and pulled the trigger. I can't stop staring at it. I took a few photos of it with my Tudor BB on NATO. Enjoy!!

Congratulations on your first purchase. My first purchase was a GMT Master II BLNR and I have loved it from day one. I travel a bit for work and actually get to use the GMT functionality. There is something very satisfying to be sitting on the plane and adjusting the time to the new time zone. Enjoy!

It was one of those things I've come so close to doing multiple times but couldn't stomach it. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and went for it.

Searching for anything specific?
